00:00:04.97\00:00:07.10
>>CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR BELIEF
THAT LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES
00:00:11.31\00:00:14.11
THE SAME SPOT TWICE, IT'S
ACTUALLY BEEN KNOWN TO STRIKE
00:00:14.14\00:00:17.45
OBJECTS - EVEN PEOPLE -
MULTIPLE TIMES DURING INTENSE
00:00:17.48\00:00:20.58
ELECTRICAL STORMS. DURING ONE
STORM, FOR INSTANCE, THE EMPIRE
00:00:20.62\00:00:24.75
STATE BUILDING IN NEW YORK
WAS STRUCK 15 TIMES WITHIN 15
00:00:24.79\00:00:28.79
MINUTES. SOMETIMES A SINGLE BOLT
OF LIGHTNING WILL REALLY CONSIST
00:00:28.82\00:00:33.26
OF AS MANY AS 42 DISCHARGES
STRIKING THE SAME SPOT IN SUCH
00:00:33.29\00:00:37.80
QUICK SUCCESSION THAT IT APPEARS
LIKE A SINGLE FLASH, BUT IT ALL
00:00:37.83\00:00:41.54
HAPPENS IN LESS THAN
ONE-QUARTER OF A SECOND.
00:00:41.57\00:00:44.11
LIGHTNING FROM ONE CLOUD TO
ANOTHER IS ALSO VERY COMMON, AND
00:00:44.14\00:00:47.84
IT'S BEEN RECORDED TO JUMP AS
FAR AS 20 MILES BETWEEN CLOUDS.
00:00:47.88\00:00:51.78
BUT WHETHER LIGHTNING IS MOVING
FROM CLOUD TO CLOUD OR CLOUD TO
00:00:51.81\00:00:54.82
GROUND OR GROUND TO CLOUD,
IT'S HARD TO MISS THE BRILLIANT,
00:00:54.85\00:00:58.12
BLINDING FLASH THAT
ILLUMINATES THE SKY.
00:00:58.15\00:01:01.76
IN MATTHEW 24 JESUS SAID, 'FOR
AS LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST
00:01:01.79\00:01:05.79
AND FLASHES TO THE WEST, SO ALSO
WILL THE COMING OF THE SON OF
00:01:05.83\00:01:09.83
MAN BE.' IN SPITE OF HIS WORDS,
SOME STILL BELIEVE THAT HIS
00:01:09.86\00:01:13.84
RETURN IS GOING TO BE A
SECRET. BUT WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
00:01:13.87\00:01:17.47
JOIN ME NOW, FRIENDS, AS WE TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT THE BIBLE
00:01:17.51\00:01:20.84
REALLY SAYS ABOUT
THE RETURN OF CHRIST.
00:01:20.88\00:01:24.15
>>WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT THE THEME OF CHRIST'S
00:01:28.05\00:01:29.92
RETURN IN OUR PRESENTATION THIS
MORNING, AND WE'VE BEEN DOING
00:01:29.95\00:01:34.02
SOME OF THESE THINGS IN THE
CONTEXT OF THE ANNIVERSARY FOR
00:01:34.06\00:01:37.66
THE REFORMATION. I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AWARE,
00:01:37.69\00:01:40.36
BUT MARTIN LUTHER, MELANCHTHON -
THAT'S PHILIP MELANCHTHON - AND
00:01:40.40\00:01:45.43
MANY OF THE OTHER REFORMERS,
THEY BELIEVED IN SOMETHING
00:01:45.47\00:01:48.64
CALLED 'THE GREAT WEEK OF TIME.'
THEY BELIEVED THAT THE HISTORY
00:01:48.67\00:01:52.84
OF MAN WOULD LAST ABOUT SIX
THOUSAND YEARS AND THEN WE SPEND
00:01:52.87\00:01:56.04
A THOUSAND YEARS WITH THE
LORD IN HEAVEN AND THEN, AT THAT
00:01:56.08\00:01:59.95
TIME, THE EARTH
WOULD BE PURIFIED AND ALL
00:02:00.05\00:02:03.59
THINGS MADE NEW. HIS
DATING WAS OFF A LITTLE BIT
00:02:03.62\00:02:07.46
ABOUT HOW OLD HE THOUGHT THE
WORLD WAS, ADDING UP THE - THE
00:02:07.49\00:02:11.43
BIBLE AGES, BUT MANY
OF THEM BELIEVED IN THIS.
00:02:11.46\00:02:14.03
ONE OF THE FOUNDERS
IN OUR MOVEMENT, J.N.
00:02:14.10\00:02:16.00
ANDREWS, HE WROTE A BOOK ON 'THE
GREAT MILLENNIAL WEEK' OR 'THE
00:02:16.03\00:02:19.13
WEEK OF TIME.' AND, BASICALLY,
WHAT IT SAYS IS, BECAUSE OF THAT
00:02:19.17\00:02:22.74
VERSE THERE IN 2 PETER CHAPTER
3, VERSE 8 - PETER IS ALSO
00:02:22.77\00:02:26.71
QUOTING PSALMS WHERE IT SAYS, 'A
THOUSAND YEARS IN HIS SIGHT ARE
00:02:26.74\00:02:30.65
AS A DAY WHEN IT IS GONE.' PETER
SAYS, "WITH THE LORD ONE DAY IS
00:02:30.68\00:02:33.82
AS A THOUSAND YEARS, AND A
THOUSAND YEARS AS ONE DAY."
00:02:33.85\00:02:37.19
AND WHEN YOU ADD UP THE AGES
IN THE BIBLE - AND WE DON'T KNOW
00:02:37.22\00:02:40.59
EXACTLY, SO DON'T USE THIS
TO TRY AND SET A DATE - BUT, YOU
00:02:40.62\00:02:44.09
KNOW, APPROXIMATELY 4,000 B.C.
ADAM WAS CREATED AND THIS STARTS
00:02:44.13\00:02:51.40
GIVING THE AGES - HOW LONG ADAM
LIVED AND HOW LONG SETH LIVED
00:02:51.43\00:02:54.77
AND HOW LONG ENOS
LIVED AND ON UP TO NOAH.
00:02:54.80\00:02:57.91
AND THEN THERE'S SOME AMBIGUITY.
00:02:57.94\00:02:59.34
THAT'S WHY WE DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DATE, BECAUSE IT SAYS NOAH
00:02:59.37\00:03:01.54
HAD SHEM, HAM, AND JAPHETH AND,
UNLESS THEY WERE TRIPLETS, WE
00:03:01.58\00:03:04.41
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHEN THAT HAPPENED.
00:03:04.45\00:03:06.25
AND THEN YOU GO ON DOWN THROUGH
ABRAHAM AND WE CAN PRETTY
00:03:06.28\00:03:09.25
ACCURATELY TRACK HISTORY FROM
ABRAHAM AND THE EXODUS TO THE
00:03:09.28\00:03:12.99
PRESENT DAY. THE
JEWS WERE VERY GOOD AT
00:03:13.02\00:03:16.69
KEEPING A CAREFUL CHRONOLOGY.
JESUS WAS BORN ABOUT 4 B.C.
00:03:16.73\00:03:22.50
IT'S INTERESTING, [ADAM] WAS
CREATED APPROXIMATELY 4004 B.C.
00:03:22.53\00:03:27.74
- THAT'S BISHOP
USHER'S CHRONOLOGY.
00:03:27.77\00:03:29.80
ABRAHAM WAS BORN 2004
[B.C.]. JESUS WAS BORN 4 B.C.
00:03:29.84\00:03:35.71
WE'RE NOW LIVING ABOUT 2,000
YEARS AFTER CHRIST, AND THEN
00:03:35.74\00:03:39.25
JESUS COMES AND WE LIVE AND
REIGN WITH HIM FOR A THOUSAND
00:03:39.28\00:03:41.35
YEARS. >>AMEN.
00:03:41.38\00:03:42.75
>>YOU'VE GOT THREE GREAT AGES:
YOU'VE GOT THE AGE OF THE FIRST
00:03:42.78\00:03:45.85
TWO THOUSAND YEARS FROM
THE CREATION TO ABRAHAM, THAT'S
00:03:45.89\00:03:49.79
KNOWN AS THE AGE OF THE
PATRIARCHS - THESE ARE THREE
00:03:49.82\00:03:52.13
EPOCHS THAT YOU SEE IN THE
BIBLE - GOD PREACHED THE GOSPEL
00:03:52.16\00:03:55.30
THROUGH THE PATRIARCHS - THEY
WEREN'T JEWS BACK THEN - THAT'S
00:03:55.33\00:03:58.10
NOAH, ENOCH,
METHUSELAH, SO FORTH.
00:03:58.13\00:04:00.94
THEN ABRAHAM IS BORN. FOR
THE NEXT TWO THOUSAND YEARS
00:04:00.97\00:04:03.84
GOD PREACHES THE GOSPEL THROUGH
THE JEWS - THE ISRAELITES -
00:04:03.87\00:04:08.61
HIS PEOPLE. AND GOD HAD
COMMITTED THE ORACLES OF
00:04:08.64\00:04:12.55
TRUTH TO THEM AND THE
MESSIAH CAME THROUGH THEM.
00:04:12.58\00:04:15.95
AND THEN YOU HAVE, FOR THE LAST
2,000 YEARS, GOD IS SHARING THE
00:04:15.98\00:04:19.52
GOSPEL WITH THE WORLD THROUGH
THE CHURCH OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL,
00:04:19.55\00:04:22.92
AND THEN CHRIST
IS GOING TO COME.
00:04:22.96\00:04:26.16
AND WE WILL LIVE AND REIGN
WITH HIM FOR ONE THOUSAND YEARS.
00:04:26.19\00:04:29.23
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A
THOUSAND-YEAR SABBATH.
00:04:29.26\00:04:31.57
AND THEN HE CREATES A
NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
00:04:31.60\00:04:35.60
AND YOU JUST SEE THIS
PATTERN ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:04:35.64\00:04:37.87
YOU KNOW, THE NEW
JERUSALEM COMES DOWN AS A BRIDE.
00:04:37.91\00:04:42.21
WELL, JACOB HAD THE WEDDING
AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF WORKING FOR
00:04:42.24\00:04:47.42
LABAN TO GET RACHEL.
YOU SEE WHERE JOSHUA -
00:04:47.45\00:04:51.69
HOW MANY TIMES DID
JOSHUA MARCH AROUND JERICHO?
00:04:51.72\00:04:53.66
>>SEVEN. >>SEVEN TIMES - YOU'RE
00:04:53.69\00:04:55.49
WRONG - THIRTEEN TIMES.
(LAUGHTER) EVERYONE SAYS THAT -
00:04:55.52\00:04:59.79
ONE TIME FOR SIX DAYS AND
THEN, AFTER THE SIX DAYS, ON THE
00:04:59.83\00:05:05.87
SEVENTH DAY, THEY MARCHED
AROUND IT SEVEN TIMES, BLEW THE
00:05:05.90\00:05:08.17
TRUMPETS, AND TOOK
THE CITY. AFTER SIX DAYS
00:05:08.20\00:05:11.01
THEY TOOK THE CITY. YOU
COULD HAVE A HEBREW SERVANT
00:05:11.04\00:05:14.54
FOR SIX YEARS -
SEVENTH YEAR HE WENT FREE.
00:05:14.58\00:05:18.45
THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS PROMISED
HIS DISCIPLES, 'HEREAFTER SOME
00:05:18.48\00:05:22.25
OF YOU WILL NOT TASTE OF DEATH
BEFORE YOU SEE THE KINGDOM OF
00:05:22.28\00:05:24.82
GOD COME WITH POWER.'
THIS IS MARK CHAPTER 9.
00:05:24.85\00:05:29.39
IT SAYS AFTER SIX DAYS HE TOOK
THEM UP AND THEY HAD A MINIATURE
00:05:29.42\00:05:33.16
PICTURE OF THE SECOND COMING.
YOU CAN READ WHERE IT SAYS,
00:05:33.19\00:05:36.83
'MOSES AND THE ELDERS WAITED
AT THE BASE OF THE MOUNTAIN FOR
00:05:36.87\00:05:40.00
SIX DAYS WHILE THE GLORY OF GOD
COVERED THE MOUNTAIN AND AFTER
00:05:40.04\00:05:42.60
SIX DAYS HE CALLED MOSES UP.'
YOU COULD SOW YOUR LAND FOR SIX
00:05:42.64\00:05:47.24
YEARS - THE SEVENTH
YEAR YOU WOULD LET IT REST.
00:05:47.28\00:05:50.75
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT JESUS
IS THE SOWER, THE WORD OF GOD IS
00:05:50.78\00:05:53.28
THE SEED. FOR
6,000 YEARS GOD HAS BEEN
00:05:53.31\00:05:55.82
SOWING THE GOSPEL SEED AND THEN
JESUS IS GOING TO COME AND THE
00:05:55.85\00:05:59.85
CONDITION OF THE WORLD
IS GOING TO BE DESOLATE.
00:05:59.89\00:06:02.32
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
WERE CARRIED OFF TO BABYLON, THE
00:06:02.36\00:06:04.73
BIBLE SAYS THAT 70 YEARS THEY
WERE IN BABYLON, THE LAND KEPT
00:06:04.76\00:06:08.16
SABBATH - IT WAS
RESTING WHILE IT WAS DESOLATE.
00:06:08.20\00:06:12.43
DURING THE 1,000 YEARS OF THE
MILLENNIUM THE EARTH IS DESOLATE
00:06:12.47\00:06:15.70
- IT'S KEEPING SABBATH -
AND SO, I COULD GO ON AND ON.
00:06:15.74\00:06:18.04
KING JOASH WAS HIDDEN IN THE
TEMPLE OF THE LORD - THE SON OF
00:06:18.07\00:06:21.74
DAVID - FROM THIS WICKED QUEEN
WHILE SHE RULED OVER THE LAND
00:06:21.78\00:06:24.81
SIX YEARS. AT THE
END OF SIX YEARS THE SON
00:06:24.85\00:06:30.72
OF DAVID - THE KING -
CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE.
00:06:30.75\00:06:32.69
WHERE'S OUR KING RIGHT NOW?
WHERE'S JESUS, THE SON OF DAVID?
00:06:32.72\00:06:36.86
IS HE IN THE TEMPLE OF
THE LORD AS OUR HIGH PRIEST?
00:06:36.89\00:06:39.19
IS HE GOING TO
COME OUT OF THAT TEMPLE?
00:06:39.23\00:06:40.66
IS MICHAEL GOING
TO STAND UP? >>YES.
00:06:40.70\00:06:42.46
>>JOASH CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE,
THEY BLEW THE TRUMPET - WILL THE
00:06:42.50\00:06:46.13
TRUMPETS BLOW WHEN
JESUS COMES? >>AMEN.
00:06:46.17\00:06:48.27
>>THE PEOPLE REJOICED - WILL
THERE BE REJOICING WHEN JESUS
00:06:48.30\00:06:50.51
COMES? >>AMEN.
00:06:50.54\00:06:51.97
>>THE WICKED WERE SLAIN - I'M
TALKING ABOUT THE STORY OF JOASH
00:06:52.01\00:06:55.34
- WILL THERE BE WICKED
SLAIN WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:06:55.38\00:06:58.28
AND THE BIBLE SAYS THEN THERE
WAS PEACE - WILL THERE BE A
00:06:58.31\00:07:01.32
KINGDOM OF PEACE
AFTER JESUS COMES?
00:07:01.35\00:07:03.08
ALL THESE STORIES IN THE
BIBLE ARE ALLEGORIES TELLING US
00:07:03.12\00:07:06.25
SOMETHING ABOUT JESUS' COMING.
IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER.
00:07:06.29\00:07:10.23
THE GREAT CLIMAX OF THE WORLD'S
HISTORY IS GOING TO BE WHEN
00:07:10.26\00:07:13.26
CHRIST COMES AND HE
SETS EVERYTHING RIGHT.
00:07:13.29\00:07:16.56
AND SO THEN, OF COURSE, THEY
LIVE AND REIGN WITH JESUS 1,000
00:07:16.60\00:07:19.97
YEARS. YOU READ IN
REVELATION 20 - OH,
00:07:20.00\00:07:22.04
ONE MORE THING I JUST THOUGHT
ABOUT - WHAT DID GOD SAY TO ADAM
00:07:22.07\00:07:25.14
AND EVE, IF THEY DISOBEYED
IN THE GARDEN, IF THEY ATE
00:07:25.17\00:07:28.34
THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT? HE
SAID, "FOR IN THE DAY THAT
00:07:28.38\00:07:32.21
YOU EAT OF IT YOU
SHALL SURELY DIE."
00:07:32.25\00:07:35.15
DID ADAM AND EVE DROP DEAD AS
SOON AS THEY ATE THE FORBIDDEN
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.85
FRUIT? >>NO.
00:07:37.89\00:07:39.29
>>NO? THEY PROBABLY
DIED, SPIRITUALLY, RIGHT AWAY.
00:07:39.32\00:07:42.52
SOMETHING HAPPENED.
THEIR LIGHT WENT OUT BECAUSE
00:07:42.56\00:07:44.16
THEY SAW THEIR NAKEDNESS.
BUT IF A DAY WITH THE LORD IS
00:07:44.19\00:07:48.90
LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS,
HOW LONG DID ADAM LIVE? 930.
00:07:48.93\00:07:54.90
'IN THE DAY YOU EAT YOU WILL
DIE.' I MEAN, IF GOD MAKES YOU
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.91
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE
FOREVER, AND YOU DIE WITHIN THE
00:07:57.94\00:07:59.51
FIRST THOUSAND
YEARS, YOU'RE DEVASTATED.
00:07:59.54\00:08:02.61
YOU AND I LIVE THREE SCORE AND
TEN OR A FEW MORE, BUT BACK THEN
00:08:02.64\00:08:06.98
THEY LIVED ALMOST A MILLENNIA
BUT NOBODY MADE IT OVER
00:08:07.02\00:08:10.05
A THOUSAND EXCEPT ONE PERSON.
ENOCH. EVERYONE ELSE, EVEN
00:08:10.09\00:08:16.59
METHUSELAH, 969 YEARS. 'IN
THE DAY YOU EAT THEREOF YOU WILL
00:08:16.62\00:08:19.53
DIE.' SO OUR
STUDY TODAY IS TALKING
00:08:19.56\00:08:23.20
ABOUT WHEN THE KING RETURNS.
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:08:23.23\00:08:27.64
SOME OF THE
SIGNS OF CHRIST COMING.
00:08:27.67\00:08:29.10
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
DATE FOR THE LORD'S RETURN, BUT
00:08:29.14\00:08:33.81
WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOME
OF THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE
00:08:33.84\00:08:37.01
CHRISTIAN WORLD REGARDING HOW
JESUS IS COMING BACK, BECAUSE
00:08:37.05\00:08:40.18
THAT IS GOING TO SET MANY
PEOPLE UP FOR A MAJOR DECEPTION.
00:08:40.22\00:08:44.45
AND SO, WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THIS SUBJECT.
00:08:44.49\00:08:46.25
FIRST QUESTION: WHO IS THE KING
THAT WILL SOON EMERGE FROM THE
00:08:46.29\00:08:50.89
TEMPLE IN HEAVEN? TALKED
ABOUT WHEN JOASH CAME OUT
00:08:50.93\00:08:54.03
OF THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD
AND THEY BLEW THE TRUMPET.
00:08:54.10\00:08:56.26
BY THE WAY, THAT WAS JUST
BEFORE THE SABBATH BEGAN, AT THE
00:08:56.30\00:08:59.63
CHANGING OF THE GUARD.
JUST BEFORE THE MILLENNIAL
00:08:59.67\00:09:02.20
SABBATH JESUS IS GOING
TO COME OUT OF THE TEMPLE -
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.81
>>AMEN. >>AND
THERE'LL BE A GREAT TIME
00:09:04.84\00:09:07.31
OF TROUBLE WHEN MICHAEL STANDS
UP. IT SAYS, "I LOOKED, AND
00:09:07.34\00:09:11.15
BEHOLD, A WHITE CLOUD, AND ON
THE CLOUD SAT ONE LIKE THE SON
00:09:11.18\00:09:14.42
OF MAN, HAVING ON HIS HEAD A
GOLDEN CROWN," - JESUS IS THAT
00:09:14.45\00:09:19.72
SON OF MAN WHO IS GOING TO COME.
SECOND QUESTION: WILL JESUS
00:09:19.75\00:09:23.89
COME QUIETLY WHEN HE
COMES? NOW THIS IS WHERE A LOT
00:09:23.93\00:09:27.60
OF PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND.
THEY THINK THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
00:09:27.66\00:09:30.77
A SECRET AND THE BIBLE TELLS
US THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS IS
00:09:30.80\00:09:36.27
PROBABLY THE
NOISIEST EVENT IN THE BIBLE.
00:09:36.30\00:09:39.94
JUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE VERSES
THAT TALK ABOUT THIS: "THE LORD
00:09:39.97\00:09:42.98
HIMSELF" - 1 THESSALONIANS 4:16
- "SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN
00:09:43.01\00:09:46.88
WITH A" - WHAT? - "A SHOUT," -
AND THEN IT GOES ON - "WITH THE
00:09:46.92\00:09:51.69
VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL," -
AND THE TRUMP, ANOTHER AUDIBLE
00:09:51.72\00:09:54.56
THING. JEREMIAH
25:30, SPEAKING OF THE
00:09:54.59\00:09:57.66
LORD COMING, IT SAYS, "THE
LORD WILL ROAR FROM ON HIGH, AND
00:09:57.69\00:10:02.43
UTTER HIS VOICE FROM HIS HOLY
HABITATION." - THERE'S GOING TO
00:10:02.46\00:10:05.23
BE A ROAR WHEN THE LORD COMES -
"HE WILL MIGHTILY ROAR UPON HIS
00:10:05.27\00:10:08.74
HABITATION. HE
WILL GIVE A SHOUT."
00:10:08.77\00:10:11.71
AGAIN YOU READ - PSALM 50, VERSE
3 - IS THE LORD COMING QUIETLY?
00:10:11.74\00:10:15.58
"OUR GOD SHALL COME, AND SHALL
NOT KEEP SILENT; ...AND IT SHALL
00:10:15.61\00:10:20.65
BE VERY
TEMPESTUOUS ROUND ABOUT HIM."
00:10:20.68\00:10:23.22
THERE'S GOING TO BE GLORY
AND THE HEAVENS ARE GOING TO BE
00:10:23.25\00:10:24.92
CRASHING - THE BIBLE SAYS THE
HEAVENS ARE GOING TO DEPART AS A
00:10:24.95\00:10:27.72
SCROLL, THE SUN'LL GO DARK,
THE MOON'LL TURN TO BLOOD, THE
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.59
STARS'LL FALL FROM HEAVEN, THE
EARTH IS GOING TO REEL TO AND
00:10:30.63\00:10:34.20
FRO LIKE A DRUNKEN MAN, THE
ISLANDS WILL BE SWALLOWED UP,
00:10:34.23\00:10:38.17
HAILSTONES ARE GOING TO BE
FALLING. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
00:10:38.20\00:10:41.04
HAVE TO TEXT SOMEBODY
AND SAY, 'DID YOU CATCH THAT?
00:10:41.07\00:10:43.07
I THINK JESUS CAME YESTERDAY.'
(LAUGHTER) AND YET, SOME PEOPLE
00:10:43.10\00:10:47.44
BELIEVE A RELATIVELY NEW
SCENARIO ABOUT THE SECOND
00:10:47.48\00:10:54.15
COMING. IT'S CALLED
THE SECRET RAPTURE .
00:10:54.18\00:10:57.09
NOW, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT THE
LEFT BEHIND BOOKS AND THEY'VE
00:10:57.12\00:10:59.92
MADE AT LEAST TWO
LEFT BEHIND MOVIES.
00:10:59.95\00:11:02.52
AND THIS WAS VIRTUALLY AN
UNKNOWN TEACHING 200 YEARS AGO.
00:11:02.56\00:11:10.23
IT SLOWLY EVOLVED OUT OF THE
JESUIT THEOLOGIAN'S CHRONOLOGY,
00:11:10.27\00:11:16.91
FRANCISCO RIBERA,
AND ANOTHER MAN, ESCOBAR,
00:11:16.94\00:11:21.54
AND THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
00:11:21.58\00:11:23.61
A COUNTER-REFORMATION
/INTERPRETATION
00:11:23.65\00:11:25.45
OF PROPHECY TO TRY TO FIGHT
WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE OF
00:11:25.48\00:11:27.98
THE GREAT REFORMERS, SO
THEY CONCOCTED THIS VIEW.
00:11:28.02\00:11:31.09
IT DIDN'T REALLY TAKE OFF
UNTIL A MAN NAMED SCOFIELD CAME
00:11:31.12\00:11:33.39
ALONG. ANY OF YOU EVER
SEEN THE SCOFIELD BIBLE?
00:11:33.42\00:11:37.13
IT'S GOT A LOT OF
GOOD THINGS IN IT.
00:11:37.16\00:11:39.06
BUT HE EMBRACED RIBERA'S
THEOLOGY ABOUT THE SECRET
00:11:39.09\00:11:43.47
RAPTURE AND THE
LEFT BEHIND THEOLOGY.
00:11:43.50\00:11:48.30
ANOTHER MAN, NAMED HAL LINDSEY,
THEN, HE PICKED UP THE SCOFIELD
00:11:48.34\00:11:52.61
BIBLE, HE PUT IT IN HIS BOOK
CALLED THE LATE, GREAT, PLANET
00:11:52.64\00:11:55.11
EARTH AND THEN THAT WAS PICKED
UP BY SOME OTHER CHARISMATICS
00:11:55.14\00:11:58.58
AND TRINITY BROADCASTING AND
THEN THEY BEGAN TO TEACH THIS
00:11:58.61\00:12:02.05
AND IT WENT FROM ALMOST
UNKNOWN TO THE PROMINENT VIEW.
00:12:02.08\00:12:05.55
NOW THE IDEA - THE WORD
'RAPTURE' MEANS 'TO BE CARRIED
00:12:05.59\00:12:08.19
AWAY WITH POWER' - AND THAT'S
BIBLICAL - WE'LL BE CAUGHT UP TO
00:12:08.22\00:12:10.53
MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR -
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RAPTURE.
00:12:10.56\00:12:12.69
THE IDEA THAT IT'S A SECRET
RAPTURE AND THE IDEA THAT GOD
00:12:12.73\00:12:17.13
TAKES US OUT OF THE WORLD BEFORE
THERE'S ANY TRIBULATION - AND
00:12:17.17\00:12:20.50
THEN THERE'S SEVEN YEARS OF
TRIBULATION HERE ON EARTH WHERE
00:12:20.54\00:12:23.34
THE ANTICHRIST DOES EVERYTHING
DASTARDLY HE'S GOING TO DO
00:12:23.37\00:12:26.47
DURING THAT TRIBULATION.
IT JUST IS - IT'S PREPARING
00:12:26.51\00:12:30.58
PEOPLE TO BE DECEIVED.
00:12:30.61\00:12:32.45
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT
00:12:33.68\00:12:35.98
WE'LL RETURN FOR
THE REST OF TODAY'S

YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE
00:12:37.59\00:12:40.42
PROPHETIC SIGNS OF CHRIST'S
RETURN AND JUST HOW CLOSE
00:12:40.46\00:12:43.93
WE REALLY ARE TO THE
MOST EXTRAORDINARY COSMIC
00:12:43.96\00:12:46.86
EVENT IN HISTORY? WILL
WE BE SUDDENLY AND SECRETLY
00:12:46.90\00:12:50.47
RAPTURED AS MILLIONS ARE LEFT
BEHIND? OR WILL JESUS' RETURN BE
00:12:50.50\00:12:55.20
AS LOUD AND BRIGHT AS
LIGHTNING, FROM SKY TO SKY?
00:12:55.24\00:12:59.34
WELL, THERE MIGHT BE A MILLION
DIFFERENT THEORIES OUT THERE,
00:12:59.37\00:13:01.54
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE BIBLE TRUTH
AND JESUS PROMISES, IF WE SEEK,

00:13:39.15\00:13:41.92
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:41.95\00:13:44.75
>>I'VE MET PEOPLE - THEY THINK
THAT, 'WELL, IF I'M NOT READY
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.42
FOR THE SECRET RAPTURE, THEN
I MIGHT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
00:13:49.46\00:13:52.76
TRIBULATION BUT I'LL GET ANOTHER
CHANCE SEVEN YEARS LATER.' AND
00:13:52.79\00:13:57.00
I'VE MET MEN, THEY SAY, 'YEAH,
MY WIFE, SHE'S TELLING ME SHE'S
00:13:57.03\00:13:59.57
GOING TO DISAPPEAR AND I'LL
BE LEFT BEHIND.' (LAUGHTER) 'SHE
00:13:59.60\00:14:03.24
SAID BUT THEN IF I REPENT
AT LEAST, DURING THE SEVEN-YEAR
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.31
TRIBULATION, I DO
HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.'
00:14:06.34\00:14:08.94
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
00:14:08.98\00:14:10.55
'WELL, I THINK I'LL JUST - I'LL
ENJOY THE WORLD AND IF I DO SEE
00:14:10.58\00:14:13.58
EVERYONE START DISAPPEARING,
THEN I'LL GET SERIOUS AND
00:14:13.62\00:14:15.38
I'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
TRIBULATION, BUT AT LEAST I'LL
00:14:15.42\00:14:18.05
BE SAVED.' WELL, FRIENDS,
THE DEVIL IS GIVING PEOPLE THE
00:14:18.09\00:14:21.76
IDEA THERE'S A SECOND CHANCE.
THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE.
00:14:21.79\00:14:24.86
WHEN JESUS COMES,
THAT'S IT. >>AMEN.
00:14:24.89\00:14:27.30
>>AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO BELIEVE
THE SAFE THING, BELIEVE WHAT I
00:14:27.36\00:14:29.30
BELIEVE, BECAUSE IF YOU BELIEVE
LIKE I BELIEVE AND I'M WRONG,
00:14:29.33\00:14:32.90
WELL AT LEAST YOU WERE
READY, YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:14:32.93\00:14:35.80
(LAUGHTER) BUT I THINK THERE'S A
LOT OF SCRIPTURE SO THAT WE KNOW
00:14:35.84\00:14:38.91
- >>AMEN. >>IT'S NOT GOING TO
00:14:38.94\00:14:40.98
BE A SECRET RAPTURE. AND
THEN SOMEONE'LL SAY, 'WELL,
00:14:41.01\00:14:43.51
PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT
SAY IN THE BIBLE THAT HE'S
00:14:43.55\00:14:45.98
COMING LIKE A THIEF?
THAT'S RIGHT, IT DOES
00:14:46.01\00:14:48.48
- LIKE A THIEF - SEE? SECRET
RAPTURE. HE'S COMING LIKE A
00:14:48.52\00:14:50.69
THIEF.' YOU TELL ME, AS I READ
THIS VERSE, IF IT SOUNDS LIKE
00:14:50.72\00:14:54.19
LIFE GOES ON SEVEN MORE YEARS
AFTER JESUS COMES LIKE A THIEF.
00:14:54.22\00:14:57.73
AND IT SAYS, "THE DAY OF THE
LORD WILL COME AS A THIEF IN THE
00:14:57.76\00:15:01.10
NIGHT, IN WHICH THE HEAVENS WILL
PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE,
00:15:01.13\00:15:05.00
AND THE ELEMENTS WILL MELT WITH
FERVENT HEAT; BOTH THE EARTH AND
00:15:05.03\00:15:08.84
THE WORKS THAT ARE IN
IT WILL BE BURNED UP."
00:15:08.87\00:15:12.11
SO WHEN THE LORD COMES LIKE A
THIEF, WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE ON
00:15:12.14\00:15:14.34
EARTH? DOES
LIFE GO ON OR ARE THE
00:15:14.38\00:15:17.25
ELEMENTS MELTING WITH FERVENT
HEAT WHEN HE COMES LIKE A THIEF?
00:15:17.28\00:15:21.12
WHY DID HE SAY HE'S
COMING LIKE A THIEF?
00:15:21.15\00:15:23.85
BECAUSE WHEN IT
HAPPENS, IT'S A SURPRISE.
00:15:23.89\00:15:26.96
YOU EVER HAVE A
THIEF COME TO YOUR HOUSE?
00:15:26.99\00:15:28.66
>>YES. >>I USED TO BE A THIEF.
00:15:28.69\00:15:31.43
(LAUGHTER) I DID, BEFORE I WAS
A CHRISTIAN. YOU KNOW, I'M BORN
00:15:31.46\00:15:35.20
AGAIN NOW SO YOU CAN TRUST ME.
(LAUGHTER) I WOULD BREAK INTO
00:15:35.23\00:15:38.53
PEOPLE'S HOUSES
- I'D STEAL THINGS.
00:15:38.57\00:15:40.34
I NEVER SENT THEM A NOTICE
AND SAID, 'LOOK, I'M GOING TO BE
00:15:40.37\00:15:42.20
HERE,' - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO, IT
WAS A SURPRISE WHEN IT HAPPENED,
00:15:42.24\00:15:46.78
BUT THEY KNEW AFTER I CAME.
AND SO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S
00:15:46.81\00:15:50.95
GOING TO BE A SECRET RAPTURE.
WHAT OTHER PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
00:15:50.98\00:15:54.12
WILL ACCOMPANY JESUS' RETURN?
YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION 16,
00:15:54.15\00:15:58.59
VERSE 18, 'THERE WAS A GREAT
EARTHQUAKE SUCH AS WAS NOT UPON
00:15:58.62\00:16:03.36
THE EARTH SINCE MEN WERE ON THE
EARTH, SO MIGHTY AN EARTHQUAKE
00:16:03.39\00:16:07.23
AND SO GREAT.' AND SO EVERYTHING
IS SHAKING. ISLANDS ARE BEING
00:16:07.30\00:16:11.60
SWALLOWED UP. WHAT ELSE
HAPPENS WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:16:11.63\00:16:15.04
WHO WILL SEE
HIM WHEN HE RETURNS?
00:16:15.07\00:16:16.87
IS IT JUST A FEW PEOPLE
WHO ARE READY FOR THE RAPTURE?
00:16:16.91\00:16:19.34
OR DOES THE BIBLE SAY IN MATTHEW
24, VERSE 30, "AND THEN SHALL
00:16:19.37\00:16:23.45
APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF
MAN IN THE HEAVENS AND THEN ALL
00:16:23.48\00:16:27.35
THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH WILL
MOURN AND THEY WILL SEE THE SON
00:16:27.38\00:16:31.72
OF MAN COMING." THEY'LL WHAT?
00:16:31.75\00:16:33.32
THEY'LL SEE THE SON OF MAN
COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN
00:16:33.36\00:16:35.92
WITH POWER AND
GREAT GLORY. >>AMEN.
00:16:35.96\00:16:37.86
>>"BEHOLD, HE COMES WITH THE
CLOUDS," REVELATION 1, VERSE 7,
00:16:37.89\00:16:41.56
"AND EVERY EYE
WILL SEE HIM." >>AMEN.
00:16:41.60\00:16:43.67
>>SOMEBODY ALWAYS WRITES IN THE
QUESTION, 'PASTOR DOUG, HOW CAN
00:16:43.70\00:16:48.10
EVERY EYE SEE HIM
WHEN THE WORLD IS ROUND?'
00:16:48.14\00:16:50.04
(LAUGHTER) HE'S NOT SAYING
THEY'RE GOING TO ALL SEE HIM
00:16:50.07\00:16:54.18
SIMULTANEOUSLY, HE MEANS
THAT DAY WHEN HE GOES AROUND THE
00:16:54.21\00:16:56.78
WORLD AND HE RAPTURES UP - KIND
OF VACUUMS UP THE REDEEMED AND
00:16:56.81\00:17:01.15
THERE'S DESTRUCTION AND
DEVASTATION BEHIND HIM AND THEN
00:17:01.18\00:17:04.35
HE GOES OFF - EVERYONE'S GOING
TO SEE HIM THAT DAY - THAT'S ALL
00:17:04.39\00:17:06.35
IT'S SAYING. >>AMEN.
00:17:06.39\00:17:07.76
>>IT DOESN'T SAY EVERYONE
SEES HIM SIMULTANEOUSLY.
00:17:07.79\00:17:10.06
AND SO,
EVERYONE'S GOING TO SEE HIM.
00:17:10.09\00:17:13.83
HOW WILL IT BE
WHEN JESUS COMES BACK?
00:17:13.86\00:17:15.50
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE LEFT IN
DOUBT. WHEN CHRIST ASCENDED TO
00:17:15.53\00:17:18.47
HEAVEN FROM THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE
00:17:18.50\00:17:21.50
DISCIPLES WERE WATCHING THIS
AND THEY WERE GAZING UP INTO THE
00:17:21.54\00:17:24.84
HEAVENS LONGINGLY AS THEY
SAW JESUS, THEIR BELOVED LORD,
00:17:24.87\00:17:28.51
DRIFTING UP INTO
THE CLOUDS OUT OF SIGHT.
00:17:28.54\00:17:30.61
AND EVEN AFTER HE WAS GONE THEY
STOOD THERE AND THEY JUST STARED
00:17:30.65\00:17:33.05
UP INTO THE SKY.
SUDDENLY THEY GOT NUDGED BY TWO
00:17:33.08\00:17:35.32
ANGELS AT THEIR SIDE THAT SAID,
'MEN OF GALILEE, WHY DO YOU
00:17:35.35\00:17:38.15
STAND HERE GAZING
UP INTO THE HEAVENS?'
00:17:38.19\00:17:40.49
- NOTICE - 'THIS SAME JESUS WILL
COME IN THE WAY THAT HE LEFT.'
00:17:40.52\00:17:45.76
HE'S COMING IN THE
SAME WAY THAT HE LEFT.
00:17:45.79\00:17:48.30
WAS HE REAL
WHEN HE LEFT? >>AMEN.
00:17:48.33\00:17:50.27
>>DID THEY SEE HIM
WHEN HE LEFT? >>YES.
00:17:50.30\00:17:52.43
>>WAS HE TALKING
TO THEM WHEN HE LEFT?
00:17:52.47\00:17:54.17
>>YES. >>YEAH, HE SAID, 'GO
00:17:54.20\00:17:55.80
UNTO ALL THE WORLD.
BEHOLD I'M WITH YOU ALWAYS.'
00:17:55.84\00:17:58.51
AS HE ASCENDED UP TO
HEAVEN. HE'S A REAL PERSON.
00:17:58.54\00:18:02.88
HE'S COMING BACK THE SAME WAY
THAT HE LEFT SO WE DON'T HAVE TO
00:18:02.91\00:18:05.28
WORRY ABOUT IT BEING - YOU KNOW,
IT'S - THE REASON THAT THIS IS
00:18:05.31\00:18:09.65
SO MADDENING FOR ME, AS A
PASTOR, IS WAS THE CHURCH READY
00:18:09.68\00:18:17.33
WHEN JESUS CAME
THE FIRST TIME? >>NO.
00:18:17.36\00:18:19.56
>>THE FIRST TIME, THEY WANTED
HIM TO COME LIKE A LION - COME
00:18:19.59\00:18:24.33
AND CONQUER THE ROMANS - TO COME
AND BLOW A TRUMPET, TO SHAKE THE
00:18:24.37\00:18:27.30
WORLD AND SET ISRAEL
UP AS THE EARTHLY KING.
00:18:27.34\00:18:30.74
BUT HE CAME QUIETLY LIKE A
LAMB AND THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT IT.
00:18:30.77\00:18:34.91
THEY WERE NOT READY BECAUSE
THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE
00:18:34.94\00:18:37.41
PROPHECIES. NOW,
JESUS IS GETTING READY TO
00:18:37.45\00:18:39.78
COME LIKE A LION WITH A TRUMPET
- AS A KING - AND THE CHURCH
00:18:39.81\00:18:44.02
IS SAYING, 'NO, HE'S COMING
QUIETLY' - (LAUGHTER) - 'THIS
00:18:44.05\00:18:46.76
TIME.' SEE, THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS
WORKING TO GET THE CHURCH TO
00:18:46.79\00:18:51.19
MISUNDERSTAND THE
PROPHECIES SO THEY'RE NOT READY.
00:18:51.23\00:18:53.93
WERE THEY READY WHEN
HE CAME THE FIRST TIME?
00:18:53.96\00:18:55.23
>>NO. >>NO.
00:18:55.26\00:18:57.47
AND MANY WILL PERISH
BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T READY.
00:18:57.50\00:19:00.17
SO THE SAME THING'S HAPPENING.
WHO WILL BE WITH JESUS WHEN
00:19:00.20\00:19:02.90
HE COMES IN THE
CLOUDS? HE'S NOT COMING ALONE.
00:19:02.94\00:19:05.47
MATTHEW 25, VERSE 31, "WHEN
THE SON OF MAN SHALL COME IN HIS
00:19:05.51\00:19:10.55
GLORY AND ALL"
- HOW MANY? >>ALL.
00:19:10.58\00:19:13.52
>>"ALL OF THE
HOLY ANGELS WITH HIM."
00:19:13.55\00:19:16.48
SO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN,
DURING THE RESURRECTION, ONE
00:19:16.52\00:19:20.56
ANGEL CAME AND ROLLED AWAY THE
STONE AND THE GUARDS - THE ROMAN
00:19:20.59\00:19:24.09
GUARDS WHO WERE THERE, THEY FELL
DOWN LIKE DEAD MEN AND FLED IN
00:19:24.13\00:19:27.86
TERROR FROM THE
GLORY OF ONE ANGEL.
00:19:27.86\00:19:30.93
ONE ANGEL OF THE LORD WENT
THROUGH THE SYRIAN CAMP AND
00:19:30.97\00:19:33.37
185,000 SOLDIERS
WERE SLAIN - ONE ANGEL.
00:19:33.40\00:19:37.47
WHEN THE LORD COMES WITH ALL THE
ANGELS NOBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO
00:19:37.51\00:19:43.55
SAY, 'DID YOU SEE
THE PAPER YESTERDAY?'
00:19:43.58\00:19:45.31
- (LAUGHTER) - 'I THINK JESUS
CAME - AND IT WAS BRIGHT.' NO,
00:19:45.35\00:19:52.15
EVERYONE WILL KNOW.
WHAT WILL THE BRIGHTNESS OF
00:19:52.19\00:19:54.09
JESUS' COMING DO
TO THE LIVING WICKED?
00:19:54.12\00:19:57.73
2 THESSALONIANS 1:7, "WHEN
THE LORD JESUS SHALL BE REVEALED
00:19:57.76\00:20:01.90
FROM HEAVEN AND HIS MIGHTY
ANGELS IN FLAMING FIRE TAKING
00:20:01.93\00:20:05.93
VENGEANCE ON THEM
THAT KNOW NOT GOD."
00:20:05.97\00:20:08.90
DO YOU KNOW HIM? ETERNAL LIFE IS
00:20:08.94\00:20:10.91
TO KNOW THE LORD. HE'LL
SAY TO THE LOST, 'I DON'T
00:20:10.94\00:20:13.17
KNOW YOU.' ARE YOU
TAKING TIME TO GET TO
00:20:13.21\00:20:15.74
KNOW HIM? BECAUSE HE'S COMING.
00:20:15.78\00:20:17.65
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY - 2
THESSALONIANS 2:8 - "THEN SHALL
00:20:17.68\00:20:21.55
THAT WICKED ONE BE REVEALED WHOM
THE LORD SHALL CONSUME WITH THE
00:20:21.58\00:20:24.55
SPIRIT OF HIS MOUTH AND DESTROY
WITH THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS
00:20:24.59\00:20:28.12
COMING." - WHEN HE
COMES - THE BRIGHTNESS
00:20:28.16\00:20:29.62
OF HIS COMING, IT'S
GOING TO CONSUME THE WICKED.
00:20:29.66\00:20:32.86
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
RIGHTEOUS WHO ARE DEAD AT JESUS'
00:20:32.89\00:20:36.23
COMING? THIS IS GOOD
NEWS. THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEAD IN
00:20:36.26\00:20:41.00
CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST. >>AMEN.
00:20:41.04\00:20:43.67
>>MANY OF THOSE THAT SLEEP
IN THE DUST OF THE EARTH SHALL
00:20:43.71\00:20:45.91
AWAKE; SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE
- THAT'S THE DEAD IN CHRIST.
00:20:45.94\00:20:49.28
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 20, IT SAYS, "THIS IS
00:20:49.31\00:20:52.11
THE FIRST RESURRECTION" -
AND WHEREVER YOU'VE GOT A FIRST
00:20:52.15\00:20:54.68
ANYTHING, YOU'VE
GOT A WHAT? >>SECOND.
00:20:54.72\00:20:56.75
>>A SECOND, AT LEAST.
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE IN
00:20:56.79\00:20:58.95
THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
AT THIS POINT, WHAT HAPPENS TO
00:20:58.99\00:21:02.76
THE LIVING AND THE
RESURRECTED SAINTS?
00:21:02.79\00:21:05.43
ALL THAT ARE SAVED
AND THE LIVING SAINTS?
00:21:05.46\00:21:07.96
IT SAYS THERE'S A TRANSFORMATION
THAT TAKES PLACE TO THEIR BODIES
00:21:08.00\00:21:11.33
- "THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED
INCORRUPTIBLE AND WE WHO ARE
00:21:11.37\00:21:15.37
ALIVE WILL BE CHANGED.
FOR THIS CORRUPTIBLE" - THESE
00:21:15.40\00:21:18.67
BODIES THAT GET OLD AND WRINKLED
AND DECREPIT - "THEY'LL PUT ON
00:21:18.71\00:21:21.68
IMMORTALITY" - THEY'LL PUT
ON INCORRUPTION - "THIS MORTAL
00:21:21.71\00:21:24.28
WILL PUT ON IMMORTALITY."
WE'LL BE CHANGED IN THE BLINK
00:21:24.31\00:21:28.92
OF AN EYE - THOSE
OF US WHO ARE ALIVE.
00:21:28.95\00:21:32.19
AND IT SAYS WE ARE THEN CAUGHT
UP TO MEET THEM IN THE AIR.
00:21:32.22\00:21:35.96
SO, AGAIN, IS THIS
SOUNDING LIKE A SECRET?
00:21:35.99\00:21:39.53
EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS TELLING
US THAT IT'S A VERY REAL,
00:21:39.56\00:21:43.87
OBVIOUS, KNOWN EVENT. >>AMEN.
00:21:43.90\00:21:46.43
>>AND YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD THE
STORIES - 'YEAH, PLANES'LL FALL
00:21:46.47\00:21:48.87
OUT OF THE SKY BECAUSE THE
PILOTS WERE CHRISTIANS AND NOW
00:21:48.90\00:21:52.21
THERE'S NOBODY TO FLY. AND
CARS JUST BE CRASHING ON THE
00:21:52.24\00:21:55.91
STREET BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS
DISAPPEARED AND THEIR CLOTHES'LL
00:21:55.94\00:21:58.75
BE IN THE
DRIVER'S SEAT, YOU KNOW?
00:21:58.78\00:22:00.48
AND YOU'LL WAKE UP AND LO AND
BEHOLD YOUR HUSBAND'S GONE - HIS
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.79
CLOTHES ARE STILL
THERE BUT HE'S GONE.
00:22:03.82\00:22:06.25
AND YOU KNOW
WHERE THEY GET THAT?
00:22:06.29\00:22:10.73
JESUS SAID, SPEAKING OF THE
SECOND COMING, HE SAID, 'TWO
00:22:10.76\00:22:15.56
WOMEN'LL BE GRINDING AT THE
MILL, ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS LEFT.
00:22:15.60\00:22:18.97
TWO MEN'LL BE WORKING IN
THE FIELD, ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS
00:22:19.00\00:22:21.50
LEFT.' AND THEN LUKE ADDS
A THIRD SCENARIO - TWO MEN
00:22:21.54\00:22:24.64
SLEEPING IN A BED,
ONE IS TAKEN, ONE IS LEFT.
00:22:24.67\00:22:28.14
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
WHAT DOES A WOMAN REPRESENT
00:22:28.18\00:22:30.55
IN BIBLE PROPHECY? >>A CHURCH.
00:22:30.58\00:22:32.65
>>A CHURCH. HOW MANY
KINDS OF CHURCHES ARE THERE?
00:22:32.68\00:22:35.15
>>TWO.
>>THERE'S REALLY ONLY TWO.
00:22:35.18\00:22:37.19
YOU GO TO REVELATION 20, THERE'S
TWO WOMEN - REVELATION 17 AND
00:22:37.22\00:22:40.69
REVELATION 12, YOU'VE GOT
TRUE AND YOU'VE GOT FALSE.
00:22:40.72\00:22:44.46
TWO DIFFERENT GOSPELS -
WHAT ARE THE WOMEN DOING?
00:22:44.49\00:22:46.86
THEY'RE GRINDING THE GRAIN IT
SAYS - WORKING WITH THE WORD -
00:22:46.90\00:22:50.60
ONE IS TRUE, ONE IS FALSE.
OUTWARDLY THEY LOOK THE SAME;
00:22:50.63\00:22:53.67
ONE IS READY, ONE IS
NOT. AND IT SAYS THERE ARE TWO
00:22:53.70\00:22:56.54
MEN WORKING IN THE
FIELD. WHAT'S THE FIELD?
00:22:56.57\00:22:58.17
THE FIELD IS THE PLACE WHERE
THE MISSIONARIES ARE WORKING -
00:22:58.21\00:23:00.21
YOU'RE SOWING THE
SEED - YOU'RE HARVESTING.
00:23:00.24\00:23:03.55
TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE
DOING MISSIONARY WORK - TRUE AND
00:23:03.58\00:23:05.88
FALSE. JESUS SAID THERE'S TWO
00:23:05.91\00:23:07.55
MASTERS - THERE'S TWO ROADS.
YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS, IT'S
00:23:07.58\00:23:11.62
EITHER YOU'RE WITH ME OR
AGAINST ME. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:23:11.65\00:23:15.62
AND THEN HE SAID 'TWO
MEN SLEEPING IN A BED'.
00:23:15.66\00:23:17.56
WHAT DOES SLEEP
REPRESENT? >>DEATH.
00:23:17.59\00:23:20.00
>>DEATH. HOW MANY KINDS
OF DEAD PEOPLE RIGHT NOW?
00:23:20.03\00:23:22.80
TWO - SAVED AND
LOST. FIRST RESURRECTION,
00:23:22.83\00:23:26.37
SECOND RESURRECTION. AND
WHAT REALLY IS INTERESTING -
00:23:26.40\00:23:30.74
HE SAID SOME ARE
TAKEN, SOME ARE LEFT.
00:23:30.77\00:23:32.84
THEY OFTEN ASSUME THE ONES
TAKEN ARE TAKEN BY THE LORD, BUT
00:23:32.87\00:23:38.65
IN THE HEBREW MIND, WHENEVER
THEY DISOBEYED THEIR ENEMIES
00:23:38.68\00:23:42.32
CAME AND TOOK THEM AWAY
TO ASSYRIA, THEY TOOK THEM TO
00:23:42.35\00:23:46.42
EGYPT, THEY TOOK THEM TO
BABYLON - THEY'RE TAKEN AWAY.
00:23:46.45\00:23:49.59
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'THEY KNEW
NOT 'TIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK
00:23:49.62\00:23:52.16
THEM AWAY' - THE WICKED.
AND SO, BEING TAKEN AWAY MEANT
00:23:52.19\00:23:55.93
BEING TAKEN OUT OF THE PROMISED
LAND - OUT OF THE PLACE OF REST.
00:23:55.96\00:23:59.00
SO THEY'VE EVEN GOT
WHO'S TAKEN MIXED UP.
00:23:59.03\00:24:02.07
IT'S TALKING ABOUT TAKEN AWAY
- AND THEY SAY, 'WHERE ARE THEY
00:24:02.10\00:24:04.31
TAKEN, LORD?' HE
SAYS, 'WHEREVER THE VULTURES
00:24:04.34\00:24:07.48
- WHEREVER THE BODY IS,
THAT'S WHERE THE VULTURES ARE
00:24:07.51\00:24:09.58
GATHERED.' YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE TAKEN LIKE
00:24:09.61\00:24:11.01
THAT, DO YOU? (LAUGHTER)
AND SO THE CHURCH IS SO CONFUSED
00:24:11.05\00:24:14.95
ON THESE SCRIPTURES
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING.
00:24:14.98\00:24:18.02
WHAT WILL THE ANGELS DO AT
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS?
00:24:18.05\00:24:22.09
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL SEND
HIS ANGELS AND THEY WILL GATHER
00:24:22.12\00:24:25.46
TOGETHER HIS ELECT FROM THE FOUR
WINDS OF HEAVEN - THAT MEANS
00:24:25.49\00:24:28.80
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST - AND
THEY'LL BRING THEM TO THE LORD -
00:24:28.83\00:24:34.17
THEY'RE GOING TO BE CAUGHT
UP TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
00:24:34.20\00:24:36.20
NOW, SINCE WE'RE LIVING JUST
BEFORE THE SECOND COMING, HOW
00:24:36.24\00:24:40.34
SHOULD WE RELATE TO THIS
SOLEMN AND GLORIOUS EVENT?
00:24:40.38\00:24:45.71
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD A
PRESENTATION LIKE THIS BEFORE?
00:24:45.75\00:24:50.25
ABOUT THE SECOND
COMING? SURE YOU HAVE.
00:24:50.29\00:24:52.15
DID IT CHANGE YOU
FOR A LITTLE WHILE?
00:24:52.19\00:24:55.52
WHY DO WE TALK
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING?
00:24:55.56\00:24:59.33
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL,
WHEN HE COMES, HE COMES.
00:24:59.36\00:25:01.33
DON'T GET PREOCCUPIED WITH HIS
COMING.' WELL, PERSONALLY, I'M
00:25:01.36\00:25:05.17
WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST AND THAT
00:25:05.20\00:25:09.20
MEANS THAT WE GET EXCITED ABOUT
THE IMMINENT ADVENT OF JESUS.
00:25:09.24\00:25:14.74
>>AMEN! >>JESUS
HAS TOLD US TO GO INTO
00:25:14.78\00:25:17.25
ALL THE WORLD TO
TEACH AND TO BAPTIZE.
00:25:17.28\00:25:19.35
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT
THIS WORLD HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT
00:25:19.38\00:25:22.22
OF TIME AND WE
NEED TO GET READY.
00:25:22.25\00:25:24.79
AND, IF NOTHING ELSE, YOUR LIFE
HAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME AND
00:25:24.82\00:25:27.66
YOU NEED TO GET
READY FOR THE LORD FOR YOU.
00:25:27.69\00:25:30.49
AND SO, WE HAVE A MESSAGE, BUT
THIS WORLD IS NOT GOING TO LAST
00:25:30.53\00:25:33.26
FOREVER AND THAT ALSO TELLS
US ABOUT THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
00:25:33.29\00:25:36.10
WOULDN'T IT BE TERRIBLE IF
THE SIN AND THE PAIN AND THE
00:25:36.13\00:25:39.17
SUFFERING WERE IMMORTALIZED?
JESUS COMING AGAIN IS GOOD
00:25:39.20\00:25:42.74
NEWS THAT IT'S ALL
GOING TO BE RESOLVED.
